Prayer (Means of Growth)

This week on ShareLifeAfrica, we are looking at how we can grow deeper spiritually.There are five means to spiritual growth –so five words –Bible, Prayer, Worship, Fellowship, Witness.

I want to focus on the significance of prayer right now.Prayer is one of the greatest privileges of having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.The Bible is God speaking to us, but prayer is us speaking to God.The simple ACTS acrostic provides a useful guideline: Adoration –praising God for who He is.Confession –admitting our sin and receiving His forgiveness.Thanksgiving –thanking God for all that He does. And supplication –bringing our needs and requests to Him in simple faith. A –C –T –S.

First Thessalonians five seventeen tells us to pray without ceasing. If we'll do that, we'll be more aware of our great need for the Lord at all times.For more practical tips on becoming an active witness and resources to help you do that, visit sharelifeafrica.org
